Sneak preview of PPP Nevada Senate Poll (out tomorrow)

Obviously it's good news for Harry Reid. But who the heck are these 9% of "liberals" who say they are voting for Angle?


Nevada Senate Poll Preview

We're going to have Nevada Senate numbers tomorrow. What I found most amazing in comparing where Harry Reid is now and when we last polled in January and found him down 51-41 to Sue Lowden is the numbers among moderates:

Sharron Angle is getting 9% with liberals and 80% with conservatives, down just slightly from the 12% and 82% Lowden was getting with those groups. But where Lowden trailed Reid only 51-41 with moderate voters, Angle is facing a 64-28 deficit. The price of nominating Angle for Nevada Republicans appears to be 26 points with moderate voters.

We asked poll respondents whether they considered Angle's views to be 'mainstream' or 'extremist.' 68% of moderates put Angle in the 'extremist' category to just 22% who called her 'mainstream.' That goes a long way toward explaining the drastically changed state of this race.

1. I don't think it's too early to call this a trend.

Looks like Reid is playing this just right so far.

2. yes, he's got to keep throwing her extreme views back at her, too. He can't let up.

3. It was methodical of Reid to have run Chicken Lady our of the race.

Leaving him with this crazy asshole who will defeat herself, with just a little help from the Reid camp.

5. It sure was, may have won the campaign for him

I remember back when Reid was attacking her 'chickens for checkups' thing, back then I thought Reid was making a mistake. I figured "If she's screwing up this badly now just how much will she screw up later closer to November". I figured anyone else Reid could face would win by default, now I'm thinking otherwise after how open Angle's been about her radical views.

4. It's a trend, all right.

But trends can turn, so Reid shouldn't figure he's a shoo-in yet.
